Two kinds of jobs
One is a file: a cutting contour a laser or plasma machine accepts directly — ordered, paid, delivered. The other is a project: old documentation or an existing part becomes complete CAD data again. We do both. The way in is different.
Cut-ready DXF files
For cutting on laser, plasma, waterjet and router. You upload your source, receive a fixed-price quote and, after payment, the finished file — usually within a few days.
- Fixed price after review, three tiers for orientation
- Account, upload, quote, prepayment, download
- Typical scope: one part to a handful of parts
Have your PDF converted to DXF
A PDF drawing becomes a DXF file by rebuilding the contour in CAD on the dimensions written on the drawing. An automatic converter transfers lines, but neither the scale nor closed contours — for cutting, the result is usually unusable. We do the redrawing as commissioned work at a fixed price.
Go to serviceHave your drawing converted to DXF
A drawing becomes a DXF file by reconstructing its contour in CAD on the dimensions written on it. With a hand drawing there is nothing to convert — no geometry exists, only pencil on paper. What matters is therefore not the file format but whether the drawing carries enough dimensions to define the part unambiguously.
Go to serviceHave your photo converted to DXF
A photo becomes a DXF file by de-skewing the image, scaling it against a known reference dimension and then redrawing the contour in CAD. A photo carries no dimensions of its own — it only gives proportions. Whether the result fits therefore comes down to a scale photographed alongside the part, or an edge you measured yourself.
Go to serviceLogo or lettering as DXF
A logo becomes a cut-ready DXF file by converting the graphic into closed vector contours and preparing it for the cutting process. The real work is not the tracing but the bridges: on letters like O, A, B or D the inner areas fall out unless they are connected. Where those bridges sit decides whether the sign holds together and still reads.

Engineering and digitisation
For drawing archives that should become usable again, for parts without CAD data, and for 2D drawings that need to become a 3D model. It starts with an enquiry without an account, then a review and a fixed-price quote per project.
- Enquiry without an account, assessment within one working day
- Review, quote, and for large archives a pilot batch
- Typical scope: from a single part to entire archives
Digitise a drawing archive: paper becomes CAD data
Digitising drawings does not mean scanning them. A scan is an image and stays one — you can neither measure in it nor change it. A drawing is only digitised once its geometry exists as CAD data: as an editable 2D drawing or as a 3D model with a derived drawing. We do this for single sheets just as for entire archives — with layer and naming conventions to your specification, so the data is not just there afterwards but findable.
Go to serviceConvert a 2D drawing into a 3D model
A 3D model from a 2D drawing is not created by conversion but by design: the views and sections are read, the features recognised, and the part rebuilt in the CAD system — parametric, with regular geometry and the dimensioned nominal values. From the finished model the drawing is then derived to standard, instead of tracing the old one. The result is a model that can be manufactured, modified and used in assemblies.
Go to serviceReverse engineering: from the part back to the design
Reverse engineering means turning an existing part back into a complete design. The part is measured or scanned, the geometry is rebuilt in CAD, and a standards-compliant manufacturing drawing with tolerances is derived from the model. The result is not a copy of the surface but a clean, editable CAD model that can be manufactured, modified and archived.
Go to service3D scanning: capturing parts digitally
A 3D scan captures the surface of a part optically and produces a point cloud that is processed into a triangle mesh (STL). The mesh is an image — not a CAD model. Whether you need the mesh itself, a surface model derived from it (STEP), or a comparison against existing CAD data determines effort and result. We deliver all three levels and tell you beforehand which one makes sense for your purpose.
